Managing Logs
CSS provides log backup and search functions to help you locate faults. You can back up cluster logs to OBS buckets and download required log files to analyze and locate faults.
Enabling Log Management
- Log in to the CSS management console.
- Choose Clusters in the navigation pane. On the Clusters page, click the name of the target cluster. The cluster information page is displayed.
- Click the Logs tab and toggle on the Log Management switch.
- In the Edit Log Backup Configuration dialog box, set the parameters.
In the displayed dialog box, OBS Bucket, Backup Path, and IAM Agency are automatically created for log backup. You can change the default value by referring to Table 1.
If the Log Management function has been enabled for the cluster, you can click
on the right of Log Backup Configuration and modify the configuration in the displayed Edit Log Backup Configuration dialog box. For details, see Table 1.
